Zhong Kui's Diary
What is wrong with me? It turns out it was the noise made by these two stones moving that instantly brought to mind the image of the Giant Porcupine Water Monster.
No, it must be that this Water Monster saw me enter this deep pit from a distance and, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, pushed the stones down to crush me in revenge.
Is there no tolerance left between people?
Right, this thing isn't human. This beast has such a narrow mind!
Instinctively, I threw my flashlight to the ground, bent my legs slightly, and raised my arms, trying to alleviate the force of the boulders.
In fact, what I was doing was completely meaningless. Even if these two giant stones had buoyancy in the water, each stone had a diameter of seven or eight meters. Even the most ordinary rock weighs over a million pounds. Even if buoyancy could reduce half of that weight, there would still be five hundred thousand pounds left. If I were hit by a five hundred thousand-pound stone... that image is too beautiful; I can't bear to imagine it.
Raising my hands to support it was just an instinct. Of course, deep down, I vaguely hoped for a miracle; perhaps this lift would actually hold up the stone?
The boulder grew larger and had already fallen above my head.
I closed my eyes and exerted strength with both hands and feet as various chaotic thoughts flooded my mind. Countless familiar faces flashed before me: Guo'er, Qingcheng, Kong Xuan, Fatty... Right, I wonder how they are doing after being captured by Jin Manyuan. If I fail my mission, will Jin Manyuan let them go?
After a thunderous roar, my palms touched the boulder, and at that moment, my mind went blank.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Strangely enough, the boulder did not continue to fall.
Huh? What's going on? Could it be that a miracle has finally occurred? My hands actually managed to hold up this million-pound boulder?
Slowly opening my eyes and looking up, I was first stunned and then burst into laughter. Damn, the two giant stones above were actually wedged against the walls of the pit.
It turned out that the two giant stones, each with a diameter of seven to eight meters, had fallen into a deep pit with a diameter of only about ten meters. When the stones fell, they collided with each other, resulting in the current situation.
"My life is not meant to end here, hahaha! I survived this disaster, hahaha! I'm so excited; I can only laugh wildly while leaving my two eggs behind..."
First came a wave of excitement, followed by relief. Then, a surge of anger rose within me. This beast—I must kill it.
I picked up the flashlight and found a gap I could squeeze through, moving upstream along the opening.
When I reached above the giant stones, about three or four meters from the edge of the pit, I stopped and stood on the stone. After thinking for a moment, I took off a piece of clothing and tightly bound the flashlight to my head. This way, I freed up one hand.
With both hands filled with energy, I sneered coldly. "One punch won't kill you? Let's see how you handle this!"
I pushed off hard from the giant stone with my feet, and my whole body floated upward. The flashlight swayed left and right with my head. If I spotted the Water Monster, I would charge at it without hesitation.
Wait a minute; something seems off.
No matter how powerful this Water Monster is, it only has one body. It is absolutely impossible for it to push both stones down at the same time. If both stones fell simultaneously, there could only be one possibility: there was another accomplice above.
Thinking of this made me feel uneasy. One Giant Porcupine Water Monster was already enough to give me a headache; if another one showed up... I'd be in big trouble.
These thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant. Although I felt uneasy, my body continued to rise. No matter what, I had just regained one-seventh of my magical power. Even if another Giant Hedgehog appeared, I might still be able to win.
As soon as I emerged from the pit, I immediately spotted the Giant Porcupine Water Monster. To my shock, there was another Water Monster beside it.
This Water Monster was even larger than the Giant Porcupine Water Monster. If the Giant Porcupine Water Monster resembled a car, this Water Monster was like a bus. Its body was exceptionally thick and robust; its four sturdy limbs and long tail resembled those of a Brachiosaurus from the Jurassic period. However, I could be sure that it was definitely not a Brachiosaurus because it had five necks.
This Water Monster before me had five necks, each over three meters long. The four surrounding necks were about as thick as a sea bowl and topped with tentacles resembling water plants. The middle neck was as thick as a water barrel and supported a head as large as a water tank.
How could such a thin neck support such a large head? This is just not scientific.
At least the top of its head is somewhat scientific; like ordinary animals, it has two eyes, one nostril, and one mouth, with two ears on the sides of its head.
Seeing me surface, the Long-necked Water Monster squinted its eyes slightly. The middle neck arched back forcefully and then shot forward, its water tank-sized head hurtling towards me, while the other four necks slowly twisted and undulated in place, making various contorted movements.
At the same time, the Giant Porcupine Water Monster also shook its entire body and charged at me from the left and right, forming a pincer attack.
Damn, if you're coming, then come. Am I afraid of you?
This statement felt somewhat lacking in confidence. Earlier, I thought that after activating the Giant Gate Platform, my internal magical power had increased by one-seventh. So even if this Giant Porcupine Water Monster called for help, I wouldn't be too concerned. However, I didn't expect it to summon such a colossal creature.
It was like two students fighting; one kid goes to find help while the other thinks the most the opponent can summon is an upperclassman. Unexpectedly, the other side brings in a muscular man holding a machete with a blue dragon tattooed on his chest.
This is completely out of the ordinary.
I don't know why they can move so quickly in the water. The large head of the Long-necked Water Monster on my left and the Giant Porcupine Water Monster on my right were already less than a meter away from me in the blink of an eye. Cursing under my breath, I twisted my body in mid-air and struck out with both fists: my left fist hit the forehead of the Long-necked Water Monster while my right fist struck the single eye of the Giant Porcupine Water Monster.
Thud! Boom!
Two muffled sounds echoed.
The water rippled as the charging Long-necked Water Monster was knocked back by my punch and collapsed to the ground, seemingly dead. Meanwhile, my punch had driven into the eye socket of the Giant Porcupine Water Monster. Blood gushed out as it trembled violently, its numerous tentacles thrashing about. The entire creature staggered back a meter before turning and fleeing without a trace.
This surprised me somewhat; I originally thought that defeating the Long-necked Water Monster would be difficult, yet I managed to kill it with one punch. Conversely, I had thought I could easily defeat the Giant Porcupine Water Monster with one punch, but it was merely injured and escaped.
Suddenly recalling Wind Rooster's words, it seemed that the Long-necked Water Monster was an ordinary large Water Monster, which is why I could kill it with one punch. In contrast, the Giant Porcupine Water Monster had learned magic; even with my increased magical power, I still couldn't bring it down.
Should we chase after and kill that Giant Hedgehog?
After thinking it over, I ultimately abandoned the idea. Who knows if this Giant Hedgehog has other companions? What if it calls in a big-mouthed Water Monster? Or worse, a big butt Water Monster... Forget it, I should just head back for now.
The corpse of the Long-necked Water Monster lay before me, its long neck and water tank-sized head twisted in an eerie S-shape, resting motionless in the muddy bottom. The four Sea Bowl-thick necks also showed no signs of life, lying like dead snakes in the mud.
As I stepped over them and moved forward, I suddenly felt my legs tighten as if two thick ropes were wrapping around them. This Rope seemed almost alive, quickly coiling upward until it wrapped around my thighs.
Looking down, I was horrified to see that the ropes entangling my legs were actually two of the Long-necked Water Monster's necks. Startled, I bent down to pull at the strange long necks when suddenly two more necks shot out from the side and wrapped around my arms.
At that moment, the Long-necked Water Monster that had been lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes and stood up. Its water tank-sized head gleamed with a cunning light in its eyes.
This creature was pretending to be dead to trick me.
Damn, with such strength, you still resort to schemes? How interesting.
At this point, both my legs and arms were ensnared by its long necks. I couldn't even move to throw a punch; even shifting slightly was difficult. The four long necks continued to spread across my body. The tendrils wrapping around my arms were already touching my face, while the ones on my legs began to coil tightly around my thighs.
A fierce glint flashed in the Long-necked Water Monster's eyes as its thick neck suddenly contracted and then snapped forward, its water tank-sized head crashing toward me.
In a moment of desperation, I summoned two bolts of Nine Divine Thunder and struck directly at the Long-necked Water Monster's massive head.
Now my magical power had recovered halfway, and these Nine Divine Thunder bolts were now as thick as my wrist, significantly more powerful than before.
Even so, these wrist-thick Nine Divine Thunder bolts caused no harm to the Long-necked Water Monster. It merely paused for a moment, anger flashing in its eyes. It tilted its neck back slightly and swiftly shot toward me again.
This Spell was completely ineffective against it!
It seems that only "I'll punch you to death" can inflict damage on it. However, my hands and feet are tightly bound by those four long necks, like the strongest shackles, rendering me completely unable to move. In this situation, how can I execute "I'll punch you to death"?
The Long-necked Water Monster has its water tank-sized head getting closer and closer to me, while the other long necks begin to creep over my body, wrapping around my shoulders and chest, and from my thighs to my waist...
Three meters...
Two meters...
One meter...
Just when it was one meter away from me, the Long-necked Water Monster suddenly opened its massive mouth. Even underwater, I could still see the glimmer of some viscous substance between its teeth. Its teeth resembled a row of gleaming hooks, incredibly menacing.
Fifty centimeters...
Twenty centimeters...
Damn it, I'm going to be bitten to death!
